Abstract: The durability of pellets, such as extruded uncured animal feed pellets, is measured by a process comprising the steps of:     A. Collecting a sample of the pellets into a test chamber (11). B. Disintegrating the pellets within the test chamber (11) by mechanical means, such as a rotating blade (17), and C. Measuring by sensing means the disintegration of the pellets within the test chamber (11) by the mechanical means (17).   This process can be performed by using a pellet durability tester which comprises:   1. A test chamber (11) equipped with a first port (13) through which pellets can enter and a second port (14) through which pellet fines and pellet fragments can be discharged, 2. Mechanical means (17) within the chamber for disintegrating the pellets into pellet fines and pellet fragments, 3. Drive means (18, 20) for operating the blade (17) for disintegrating the pellets, and   4. Sensing means for measuring the disintegration of the pellets.   Pellet disintegration can be measured in any one of a number of ways, such as measuring the time it takes to disintegrate the pellets, or by measuring the increased amperage draw required by the drive means for operating the mechanical means. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A fluid discharge device, primarily for w.c. cisterns, has a housing (4, 9) with an outlet (5) through the base of the cistern (1). A main valve assembly (20) with a seal (21) normally blocks this outlet (5). A substantially closed variable volume chamber (26) is formed in the housing (4, 9), the main valve assembly (20) providing its base. A pilot valve (12, 30, 36), controllable externally of the cistern, can open this chamber (26) to the outlet, and there is a restricted passage (10, 49, 58, 88) between the chamber (26) and the interior of the cistern (1). On opening the pilot valve, water (and sometimes air under pressure) escaping the chamber (26) alters the pressure balance and the main valve assembly (2) lifts to generate the full discharge. The flow of water can help keep this valve assembly (20) lifted, and a low pressure zone in the discharge passage can be used to keep the chamber (26) scavenged. The valves close when the discharge is completed, and replenishment water penetrates the chamber (26) via the restricted passage (10, 49, 58, 88). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with the use of starch as a complexant with iodine for preparing dry powder pharmaceutical formulations useful in the prepration of capsules or tablets. The helical structure of the amylose molecule and its ability to complex with iodine make starch (amylose) a desirable carrier for the administration of iodine (I2) as a dry powder formulation in capsule or tablet form. These pharmaceutical formulations are particularly useful in the treatment of or the prevention of iodine deficiency diseases including breast dysplasia, breast cancer, endometriosis, premenstrual syndrome and radiation sickness from nuclear fallout.

Abstract: Peptides called receptor mediated permeabilizers (RMP) increase the permeability of the blood/brain barrier to molecules such as therapeutic agents or diagnostic agents. The permeabilizer A-7 or conformational analogues can be intravenously coadministered to a host together with molecules whose desired destination is the interstitial fluid compartment of the brain. Alternatively, the permeabilizer A-7 or conformational analogues can be administered sequentially with the molecule(s) of interest and these molecules can also be administered by routes other than intravascular. The permeabilizer A-7 or conformational analogues allow these molecules to penetrate the blood-brain barrier and arrive in the interstitial fluid.

Abstract: An electrode boiler comprising a container (11) for containing water and electrodes (14 and 15) within the container (11) which serve to pass electrical current through such water and which are generally upright when in use. Feed and drain means (20 to 25) are connected to the container (11) to enable water to be fed to and drained therefrom. Outlet means (16) are provided through which steam generated inside the container (11) can pass. An electrode current indicator (32) provides an indication of the value of the electrical current passing through the electrodes (14 and 15). Control means (40) are connected to the feed and drain means (20 to 25) and the electrode current indicator (32). The control means (40) are such as to cause the feed means (20 to 23) to open when a predetermined drop in the electrode current has occurred owing to a boiling away of water from the boiler, and then to cause the feed means (20 to 23) to close when a predetermined increase in the electrode current has occurred owing to the introduction of water into the boiler. Current-increase-rate measuring means (80) are provided in the control means (40) to provide a measure of the rate of increase of electrode current when the feed means (20 to 23) are open. The control means (40) are such as to open the drain means (23 to 25), for a drain period, in dependence upon the said measure. <IMAGE>
